Update

Hello Families,
We had a wonderful week. The students did a really good job on the spelling test this week. They are also doing a great job turning in homework on Fridays. During Writer's Workshop they have been working on writing booklets about a small moment- something that happened to them. We are going to start narrative writing next week and focusing on a small moment and writing a sequence of events. During writing they need to be a "responsible writer" and use tall, short and hang your bottom letters when writing, they also need to remember capitals, spaces, ending marks and no mixing (capitals and lower case letters in a word). When they get to an unknown word they need to stretch through it, use their resources in the room, and/ or circle it. They are doing a wonderful job remembering these strategies!

We will continue place value next week during math. The love math workshop and working through math centers to enhance their learning. 

We got together with our 4th grade buddy class on Wednesday. The fourth graders helped the first graders get logged into the laptops and navigate to the Lindbergh website and our class blog. The 4th graders really helped the first graders and it was a very successful buddy morning! (see pictures below)

We were the "video leaders" for the character assembly this month. Earlier this month they took pictures of other Concord kids Being Proactive - Habit 1. We put those pictures into a slide show and presented the slide show today at the assembly. I am so proud of how well my first graders noticed others making proactive choices.(see pictures below)

Peanut Free Snack
Please do not send in peanut snacks. Our room is a peanut free zone! No peanuts and nothing made in a factory with peanuts. This is very important for birthday treats as well! Thank you in advance for your support!

Finally, here are some fun things to talk to your child about: 

• Ask your child which day is their Ipad day. Find out when they get extra time on the Ipad. 
• Ask them about the treasure chest. (there are fun passes in the chest- stinky feet pass, show and tell pass, hat day pass...)
• Ask them to tell you about their favorite part of the day.
